A simple contract or proposal is a document of 1 to 3 pages in length that has generally short, standard terms and conditions. It may not provide for every contingency, nor address the unique needs of larger projects. A simple contract/proposal review will include the following:

Moderately complex contract review

A moderate contract review is a document or combination of documents that is intended for larger, lengthier projects and generally, although not always, fewer than 8 pages of text. A moderate contract/proposal review will include all of the elements of a simple contract review, and also include additional discussions, review, and coordination, including the following additional services:
